• Applications for Reception School places 2026

  Mon 10 Nov 2025

  Dear Families

   

  Just a reminder that application for transfer to primary school for reception year 2026 opened Friday 7 November 2025 and will close on Thursday 15 January 2026.

   

  If your child is currently in Nursery and will be starting Reception next Year, you will need to apply for their school place, as enrolment into school is not automatic.

   

  Please see attached link on what to do and how to apply for your child's school place. If you know of any other families who will have a reception aged child next year - please spread the word.
